Scribd Scoop: The Saga Continues For Nephew in ‘Making a Murderer’

If that name sounds familiar, that’s because his case was featured in the Netflix series “Making A Murderer.” He and his uncle, Steven Avery, were charged and convicted in the death of photographer Theresa Halbach. Both were sentenced to life in prison.

But that’s just the beginning. Learn more below about Brendan Dassey and the Netflix series that brought his story to light.

The Scoop

Dassey’s conviction was overturned in August, and he was to remain in prison while state attorneys appealed. His lawyers, however, asked for his release, and a judge granted that request.

But that's not where the story ends, and Wisconsin’s Department of Justice asked for the ruling to be turned over. Days before Dassey was to be released, an appellate court blocked the release of the now 27-year-old inmate.
